mind blown

I should not feel this uncomfortable while also soothed.

Jason Nickey throws a nightmare at you with his unique mind twisting story. Tom Jordan delivers it in a way where you feel like your brain is being tucked in a cozy velvet coffin.

Great story!

I’m happy it did have a solid ending rather than one where the reader must decide.

Worth a Read

So many twists and turns. I really enjoyed this book. It was a good short read and I think any horror book reader will enjoy it.

Could use some cleaning up, but a solid story

I enjoyed this very quick listen. I did NOT see where it was going, but that is not for lack of foreshadowing! The story itself is a tidy little tale exploring the effects of grief, depression, and substance abuse on an already unstable mind. My only issues are that the composition is a little unpolished and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to like the protagonist or not. The author frequently uses repeat words in the same sentence/paragraph (for example, "He walked toward the cabin. In the cabin, he found...."). A good editor could fix that need for varying vocabulary, and it's not so distracting that I couldn't enjoy the story despite it. And the protagonist seemed stuck in a victim mentality, while also seeming to fall prey to some tenets of toxic masculinity: the need to repress emotion, the need for others' approval to feel worthy, resorting to substance abuse instead of seeking psychological and emotional support. This may have been intentional and I just missed the point a bit, since it does seem that lack of accountability is a motif here. Overall I enjoyed it and would read more by the author, if only for the deft psychological twists he seamlessly creates.

A masterpiece that engages you

Received an audio copy from the narrator Tom Jordan, this is an honest review. Wreckage is a harrowing poignant and a profoundly unforgettable story brought to life through Tom's great performance. Frank finally believed he'd found a much needed stability with this wife and son... only to lose both of them that forever scars the man's very soul. As Frank stands upon a precipice if it's worth still living, salvation comes from a job offer that would take Frank to Alaska... he could never imagine surviving a plane crash and then survive in the wilderness in hopes of rescue. It's what happens after all of this that the author hauntingly twists the narrative into a labyrinth of what exactly is Frank experiencing that is realistic messy and deeply sad at the same.

A wonderful story worthy of readers' precious time.

Highly recommended.

Solid premise and good execution

This turned out to be an unexpectedly twisted tale. I enjoyed it. There is some gratuitous sex, but that's my hang up and not the authors. The character is understandable and the ride is enjoyable.

Twist and Shout

This story was amazing. There were twists and turns throughout this entire story. Just when you think you know what's going on, shaboolya you're wrong. I loved this story from Jason Nickey. It's different from what I usually read but receives. 5🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 from me.

A descent into madness...

I was lucky enough to receive a copy of the audiobook from the author, here is what I thought.
I really loved this story of one man's descent into madness. It was very well written and interesting with plenty of twists and turns with a surprise ending. I have read books based on this premise before but this has become my new standard.
If you are a horror fan, this is a must read. The narration was excellent and added to the overall effect of the story.

what a wild ride

Everytime I thought I knew what was happening there was a twist. Amazing! I love how the author can really throw in twists at every turn.

BEST YET!

Jason Nickey NEVER disappoints! A tragic story with a gut punch at the end! How much punishment can a man take before his sanity is ripped to shreds?! Everyone should drop whatever it is they're doing and READ THIS BOOK NOW!
